This is a fully functional walking hexapod for Wiremod! Clicky for a vid, download and build instructions! |
Four GMod/Wiremod Quaternion based flight systems.

All of these vehicles are a seat mounted on a giant E2 chip. They’re based on roughly the same code, so you can mix and match bits to your liking 🙂 The Adv Dupe and Expression2 downloads are at the bottom of the page. |
Interactive Circle of Fifths.. and stuff!
 What’s better than a circle of fifths diagram? An interactive vectored one…with other useful stuff! Since I stopped studying music, the theory has been slowly seeping out of the side of my head. The only solution was to recreate my old reference sheet so I could quickly grab a copy on the mobile. |
Fixing XBox error 0020 – On the cheap.
Having never owned an XBox, I jumped at the chance to have a peek into the guts of a friend’s broken machine. It took all of 5 minutes to google the extended error code (0020) and no more than an hour to fix it without resorting to buying an X-Clamp fix kit, heat gun, ramming erasers under the chips or sticking the thing in the oven. As an added bonus, you can also do this without removing the heatsinks or having to re-apply thermal paste. |
Fixing ADB shell colors in the windows command prompt.
 At some point this morning I was suddenly and without warning struck with the urge to get the old AALib demo “BB” running on my ‘droid. Eventually I had an ARM build of Debian running and BB installed without any fuss. (apt-get install bb). |
What I hadn’t anticipated though was that using ADB shell from the windows command prompt would result in color code escape sequences being printed straight to the screen. Worse still, I couldn’t Ctrl+C out of a program without killing ADB shell, and other keys such as the arrows and escape key were being ignored completely.
So without further ado, here are a few solutions :
Faster Number rounding with bitwise operators in AS3.
|
var Y:Number = 5.5; |
I found myself asking why this functionality was included, what would be the outcome, why it worked, and if it did work what sort of rounding was going on behind the scenes.(Also why would anyone attempt this, but that was fairly tertiary.)
As it turns out, AS3’s SHL operator can actually be used as a very fast and quite useful form of rounding. Read on for an explanation, some examples and calculated times.
Replacing Source Models/Skins With a Hex Editor.

If you’ve tried this before, you’ll soon realise that renaming one .mdl file to another just doesn’t work.

3D Tracking Turret for Wiremod
 This is a fun little turret that will lock on to whatever you want (players, npcs, rpgs…), and just shoot away as long as they’re in range. Great fun to leave next to the spawn point on public servers. Grief! |

L4D2 Combustable Lemons Tutorial.
Inspired by Cave Johnson’s rants about combustable lemons from Portal2, I thought it would be kinda funny to make some for L4D2. It was! (is?)
